Commonly Confused Words in English: TO, TOO, TWO

Do you know the difference between ‘to’, ‘too’, and ‘two’? If you don’t, you will after watching my lesson, in which I explain when to use each of these words. They are homonyms — words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have completely different meanings. Confusing! But not after you watch this lesson :)

  41. Anuj :

    Thanks a lot! :)

    I have a confusion, like in following sentence
    “Mr. X was somewhat susceptible to flattery”
    How we use “to” here and if we get many other likewise sentences, how to interpret their meanings?
    I am able to solve them most but don’t have thorough understanding.
    Thanks a lot in advance :)

  42. Pavoreal :

    T hank you so much for this way of teach us.
